E91: Jamie Hartman | The Songwriting Journey

In this Headliner Radio podcast, Tony Moore catches up with hit songwriter, Jamie Hartman, whose credits are as eclectic as they are long. He started playing piano when he was 14, wrote his first song for a girl he liked (her friend enjoyed it, which was something), which was enough to give him the bug. After a stretch of busking stints across London, Hartman started performing his original songs weekly in the back of a juice bar on Portobello Road called The Living Room, and six weeks later, an A&R guy rolled in, liked what he saw, and offered him his first publishing deal a month later. Skip to present day, and Hartman has written for a huge array of artists: Backstreet Boys, Birdy, James Bay, Kylie, Rag 'N Bone Man, and most recently Celeste, whose debut record is currently at #1 on the UK Albums Chart.
